Kevin Smith to Direct "Reaper"
SCI FI Wire (via Variety) is reporting that Kevin Smith will be directing "Reaper" for The CW. This will be his first foray into directing a TV pilot.
Whoa. It's Keven Smith! Now, granted, this doesn't make me as giddy as, say, a story that said "Joss Whedon directs new TV Pilot"...but, its still pretty good.
In my previous post on the fall network pilots, I had this to say about "Reaper":
Reaper
"Reportedly about a 21-year-old slacker who becomes the devil's bounty hunter. I have no idea what a "devil's bounty hunter" does...and, I think I am not that interested."
So, obviously, this should be updated. The last sentence now read will read - "I have no idea what a "devil's bounty hunter" does...but with Kevin Smith at the helm, I am sure it will be something disgusting, vile...and interesting!"
Add another show to my fall TiVo schedule!
That does make it a lot more interesting. I look forward to finding out what Smith can do with this movie putty....
